The regatta fleet racing at the East Zone Championships is open to less experienced club sailors in Optimists and Toppers who are learning how to race. The racing will be organised by local coaches and run on an informal basis, starting at around the same time as the main fleets, on both days. The coaches will brief the regatta fleet sailors on the format for the day, immediately after the main competitor briefing on Saturday.

The Zone Championships is a great event for the young sailors but can also be an experience for the parents. This year the East will be the biggest event of all the 9 championships, we will need lots of volunteers.

If you would like to be involved with either the Safety Boat Fleet, Race Management , Onshore Support or have a Rib you could bring along please get in touch with Paul Wren via either E-mail Paul.wren@rya.org.uk or Mobile 07909 994642
